EPISODE 38 - Remix 3: Making the leap to start a creative biz

“To actually launch your creative business… this is a process. It takes small steps. You have to take really tiny steps in order to get anywhere and do anything big.”

- Shinah

Remix month marches on! In the first two remix episodes of 2021, I covered how to identify and overcome the things that hold you back from chasing your dreams. In Remix #3, I dig into some practical tips for launching your own creative business — whether its calligraphy, copywriting, choreography, or crochet!

Remember: building a successful business is not about one massive, earth-shattering leap.

It’s about taking small, simple steps toward your goals.

In this episode, I tackle questions like “How do I know when I’m ready to start selling my work?”, “Can I be a success overnight?”, and “How do I bridge the gap between side hustle and full-time creative entrepreneurship?”

That’s right, we’re talking scarcity mindset, budgeting, building a client base, and dealing with uncertainty!

If you’re ready to get out there and do the damn thing in 2022, you definitely want to hit play!

Tune into this episode of The Shinah Show to find out:

  • When you should take the leap and start selling your creative work

  • How my revenue grew as my business scaled (yes, I’m talking NUMBERS)

  • Why leaving your job to work on your creative business doesn’t automatically mean that you won’t have any income — and the 3 numbers to figure out before you quit
